Trail cam photo of a bigfoot recorded in Poplar Bluff on private land

The witness received a motion alert from a cellular trail camera overlooking a creek and saw a single large brown-and-black bipedal figure standing in the water about 100 feet away. A live view checked seconds later showed the figure was gone, and an evening search found no footprints. Comparison photos with a 6-foot relative standing at the same spot suggested the figure was several feet taller and two to three times wider.

Two girls have a daytime close encounter on their family farm near Oak Grove

Two girls encountered a tall dark figure at close range in a marshy wooded area near a fence. The figure left quickly while splashing through water, as a nearby cat reacted with alarm and neighboring dogs barked and fled.

They went inside and later recounted the events to family and an investigator.
